back again with some POKEMON OC THOUGHTS. we've been having a lot of thoughts about pokemon and a silly little worldbuild lately, and while we've been rotating around how we want to do things for a while, we've got some good ideas for structuring it out now. with iris' help, we have the start of our first trainer + his partner pokemon!


[image description: a stufful/miltank fusion resembling a toy-like miltank with soft features, beady eyes, little ears and horns, a black bell on the end of its blue tail, a blue checker bandana, and black hooves. it has a blue and white cow pattern all over it, and a blue strawberry on its belly.]

this is blueberry milk! iris claimed her immediately and said that she would make a really good partner pokemon for a cutesy farmer who specializes in cooking and baking the stuff that he grows. we came up with a little profile for her with the help of our OC generator...

Blueberry Milk is a stufful/miltank fusion belonging to a gentle farmer, given to him as a gift as a child and staying by his side no matter what. While she enjoys sleeping outside in the paddock most of all, she has to be kept indoors while unsupervised to avoid her getting into anything that can't be washed out of her plush body. Her favorite job around the farm is to help test all kinds of food her trainer makes, with a strong inclination towards sweets and treats. The fact that her trainer does meat farming as well as fruits, veggies, and other pokemon-related products doesn't bother her, and she values the time she spends with the livestock just as much as any other mon in the farmer's care.

She is quick tempered when upset, but remains calm for the most part. It's easy to appease her with a little food, though. Despite being a plush, she doesn't enjoy being handled by anyone but her trainer, and prefers light pats instead of hugs and kisses. Her bandana is the most important thing to her, and she often has it decorated with little ribbon pins.

Due to being blueberry-colored but bearing a strawberry on her belly, some ask if she's some kind of knockoff plush. Her trainer simply shrugs, saying that his family picked her up for him from a local artisan market, and that's all he knows. No one has claimed to be responsible for her fusion, but it's suspected she may have been a custom creation after all...

we still have to work on the farmer guy, but it may be fun to make a sprite or two for him based on his casual wear (a sort of farmer's wife dress) and work clothes (overalls, gotta get dirty working on the farm). while we initially wanted to make self insert trainers for all of us, we think it might be more fun to make trainers distinct and diverse, with bits and pieces of ourselves thrown in without a singular writer for them. pokemon will be claimed more individually!
